The full CVS log is available at [www.xchat.org/cvslog/](http://www.xchat.org/cvslog/) + +*** + +## 2.8.10 - dd/mm/yyyy + + - Emit the Topic Change event before setting the topic internally so plugins + can access the old topic inside the callback. + - Add two options url\_grabber and url\_grabber\_limit. + * url\_grabber is a boolean for enabling/disabling the url grabber + * url\_grabber\_limit is an integer controlling the number of URLs the + URL Grabber will keep around. Setting it to 0 leaves it unlimited as in + previous versions. + - Fixed a bug with the URL Grabber where it fails to grab a URL if the URL + is the first thing in the message. + - Change /ignore <nick> to always add !*@* if <nick> does not contain ? or * + - Perl (Lian Wan Situ) + * Added two new options to hook\_print, run\_after\_event and filter. See + documentation for details. + * When building on Windows, generate the name of the DLL for the Perl + library based on information from the header files instead of hardcoding + the value. + * Fixed a bug in the reinit handling code. The bug prevented the plugin from + cleaning up properly. Which includes unloading scripts and removing + their GUI entries. + * Remove the restriction on having only 1 package per script. Any inner + packages declared will also be unloaded when the script is unload. If + multiple script declare an inner package with the same name then unloading + or reloading one of those scripts will cause problems. + +*** + +## 2.8.8 - 30/May/2010 + + - Made balloon time adjustable via /set input\_balloon\_time (Nicoleau Fabien). + - Fixed a crash in the /SET command if a boolean value was loaded from config + file that isn't set to 0 or 1. + - Added -on and -off parameters to the /SET command. This can be used to set + bits, for example gui\_tweaks. + - Made scrolling backwards for the search window act better (Richard Hitt). + - [2045483] Made ESC key close the search window (Richard Rowell). + - Improved the reconnect logic.

This works + around a bug in ircd-seven. + - When a single channel MODE changes, xchat will no longer re-issue a MODE + request for the titlebar display, but figure the new modes intelligently + (Brian Evans). + - Various text event changes (Brian Evans): + 1. Added "Private Action", "Private Action to Dialog", "SSL Message". + 2. Added "Identified text" parameter all the 'action' events. + 3. Added a $3 parameter to "Server Text". + - Perl (Lian Wan Situ) + * Fixed a bug that resulted in timer hooks being leaked because + "return REMOVE" from a timer callback was not unhooking like it was + supposed to + * Reverted the unintentional change to how the server argument of print() + and command() is interepreted when it is undef + * Add hook\_fd to the 'hooks' export tag + * Fixed a leak in XS\_Xchat\_get\_list(Vincent Pit) + * Change Xchat::register so that scripts calling it without a name or + version will still show up in the plugins and scripts window. + * Added calls to PERL\_SYS\_INIT3 and PERL\_SYS\_TERM which are required on + some platforms + * Added some additional guards to prevents bits of scripts from spilling + into each other + * Added "modes", "win\_ptr" and "xchatdirfs" to the list of keys that are + returned by context\_info() + * Changed the information displayed in the "Plugins & Scripts" for scripts + that do not call register() to show up as "" for the name and description + and "unknown" for the version + * /reloadall will now reload scripts in the same order they were loaded + * Make xchat\_send\_modes available as Xchat::send\_modes + * Add support for getting the network list using Xchat::get\_list( "networks" ) + * Xchat::strip\_code will now strip off ANSI escape codes as well + +*** + +## 2.8.6 - 11/Jun/2008 + + - Updated translations (de, fi, fr, hu, lt, nb, ru, th, zh\_CN). + - Fixed creation of ~/.xchat2/scrollback/ paths (xc284-scrollbmkdir.diff). + - Fixed a leak of file descriptors related to the scrollback feature + (resource leak) (xc284-fix-scrollbfdleak.diff). + - Stopped scrollback files growing too large by fixing the file-shrink code. + - Put a "Display scrollback from previous session" into the Setup GUI + (logging section) so people can turn this off without typing commands. + - Made /away work even when the reason setting is empty. + - Using /part on a channel that contains a quotation mark now works [1800855]. + - Changed the default encoding to "IRC" (CP1252/Unicode Hybrid) for both Unix + and Windows. + - Fixed a possible Channel List crash if you searched many times while the + download was still going. + - Fixed alert balloons failing if the text contained "<" characters [1827629]. + - The Drag&Drop files to userlist feature has been enabled again. + - Removed the /set tab\_icons setting and made it automatic (see FAQ for more + info about icons). + - Fixed a bug in creating files (save channel list, rawlog etc) that would set + the wrong permissions. + - Added command line argument --command=COMMAND which can be used in + conjuction with --existing (E.K.L.).

Warnings issued by perl scripts are also printed on the + main window. This allows script writers to use the perl command + 'warn' to point out strange things. Perl errors no longer make + xchat crash. The error message is written on the main window and + the command execution is stopped (Frodo Baggins). + - Added IPv6 support for making server connections.
